Alex Van Halen book on the way.

Post by Love_Industry »

Alex apparently wrote a book.
"The Brothers Van Halen ".
You can pre order it through Amazon. Available in October.
How much does he remember though with all his drinking? And will it be about his time in VH or mostly about growing up with Ed as the title implies?

If he really wants to piss off Scammy and get back at him for his book. He shouldn't mention him even once. Sammy would have a huge meltdown.

Didn't Alex stop drinking in 1986?

I wonder if he will mention partying with James Honeyman-Scott with himself and Dave Lee Roth in the eighties in the book. There isnt much info about James.

In some dialects of English, one can use “wrote” as the participle. In such dialects, “she has wrote” would sound final. However, in standard English, “she has written” would be correct. It was a typo. However je suis francais.

Maybe he'll reveal why his electronic drum kit is more obvious on 5150 than 1984.

Most Bios, are "take it with a grain of salt." Most are selective memory. I always believed the crap between the brothers and Hagar to be pretty much Both sides are to blame. Like a bad marriage, both sides are to blame.

There is Hagars side, The Bothers side. Then you have what really happened. I just saw the pricing. Thats Way to much for a ebook, when most are 10 bucks and below. Can I afford it, yup. Will I pay for it nope. Will I read it, probably.
I'm finding it difficult to masturbate to this. I'm trying, I just have so little to work with...

Nothing says "I can afford it" like complaining about prices literally every time you're asked to pay something.

Ooh, do you know where you can download it for free? Tell us what a VPN is. Let's knock out all of Tym's Greatest Hits.
